If you see yourself as a loser with no self-control, you will always be a loser with no self-control

Advice

If you see yourself as someone better who has moved on from this addiction, every time you are tempted you will think of yourself as someone better who has moved on. You have to believe yourself to be better than an addict because otherwise you'll never be able to move past it. It's easy to justify when "that's all you are" or "you have no self control so might as well just do it". But if you hold yourself in higher regard your actions will reflect of the person you hold yourself as, as opposed to the person you once were.

I've just completed 100 days of not masturbating and have no intention of stopping. My life has already gotten so much better, my mind is less foggy and I've gotten so much time back that I've spent on doing things to improve myself as opposed to wasting away browsing pornography trying to find the best video to download.
